When A. b. 15. an Act to establish branch
State Normal School, came up on the third read

Henry of Butte, the anthor of the bill. who
desires to have the school located at Chico.
fought the amendment. because Chico, being
south of the prescribed line. would be pro-
scribed. He became very much excited in the
debate, and almost personal in his remarks to-
wards Mr.. Shanahan. the Asscmblyman from
Shasta He said the population of Shasta, ac
cording to tho last census reports, was about
5000, LOO of whom Were Indians and half
breeds. Speaking of the white population, he
said 1000 of them were old bachelors, one-half
of whom were married to Indians.
Shanahan, in reply, stated that the member
from Butte was reading from the census of 1880.
During the past seven years the eounty had
prospered. its white population was to-day over
1900, and she is receiving an immigration
larger than all the counties of the northern por
tion of the State combined. Theywere honest.
intelligt mt and industrious, and ere many years
Shasta would be to the northern section what
Los Angeles is to the southern. The gentleman
from Butte. he said, evidently was little mixed
when he said 900 bac helors were married to
Indians
Henry OF Butte arose and retorted " If the
gentleman from shasta wishes me to be plain,
will say that the large number of men Iefer to
live with squaws."
Mr. Shanahan retorted again is the gentle
man from Butte in error: the only rancherie
of that character of any considerable size is tha.
al Chico, in Butte county. They are his con
stifUents. not mne"
